Crime Scene Science Investigation

Overnight Program: Saturday, March 14, 2026 5:45pm-8:00am 

Can you crack the case? Grab some pizza then jump into workshops to build your detective skills: 

  • Memory 
  • Fingerprinting 
  • Blood analysis 
  • Other evidence 

Next, it’s time to investigate the crime scene! Collect evidence, analyze clues, assess suspects, and collaborate with your team. Who do YOU think is the culprit? Plus, take home a special gift—a secret message communicator!
